Today, I missed points on a math quiz because I thought 2 times 5 was 20. I'm a math major. FML

You were probably tired. it happens to the best of us.
I once absentmindedly asked if an airplane was 50 miles long.

Not necessarily true... depends entirely of the professor. I had a few professors with an "all or nothing" kind of grading scheme.

It's just a careless mistake, you couldn't have missed too many points off...not really an FML.

nope. two squared is four, times five is twenty. thanks for playing, please come again.

2^2 is 4. 4x5=20

I believe chicken_lover interpreted the comment as the 2 being superscript to the 5, thus making 5^2 and resulting in 25.
I could be wrong, but I think this is just a failure in communication.

no like 2 squared is 4 then 4x5 is 20 because exponents come before in the order of operations

hahaha easy mistake :-( your teacher should have looked if you would have gotten it right if you didn't make that simple mistake and given you the points anyway
